On top of that, he is releasing another title that supports this control scheme. Ask me how I know :]

There are a number of N64 games that use the analog stick with the right hand, including one of the titles I a re-releasing for the M64!

As teased by @ModRetro, Xibalba 64 will be published as a launch title for the M64! It's a complete physical release, including cartridge, packaging and manual. Exciting times!
I saw some discussion about the game already, so let me clarify...

Xibalba 64 is not just a straight "port" of a JavaScript demo to C. It's a full game! I poured my heart, soul and sanity into it; to make into something that I feel might be worthy of your money.

There's a proper trailer for the game coming soon! I'm also working on a detailed blog post about the technical details. It was quite the endeavor!

Ever wondered why explosions and other effects looked so much cooler on PSX than on N64? It's additive blending! While the N64 ACKCHYUALLY did support it, it was practically unusable. 🧵

Sadly, the N64 struggles hard with memory bandwidth and thus with blending/overdraw: for each pixel the RDP needs to read the framebuffer from RDRAM, compute the output color and write back to RDRAM. With a 32bit buffer this problem gets twice as bad.

Still, this whole approach worked out quite nicely and runs fast enough with a few hundred small sprites on the screen. Might use it for a game!

For my N64 game I wanted to support the Rumble Pak and stumbled down a rabbit hole of "not sure if genius or really dumb"-engineering. Libdragon, the system library I'm using, has this very convenient function `joypad_set_rumble_active(port, active)`. Simple, right? 🧵 1/n

I'm in awe of whoever designed this thing. A true hacker! Also, thanks again to lidnariq and everyone else in the N64Brew discord for figuring this out. You guys are the best <3 17/n
